Small chance of thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon as the low pulls away?

Looks decent enough Ros4Sam24. That LP dragging in warm moisture rich air, could be high teens / 20C fairly widely and a bit over in a few places, Dp's above the mid teens so very muggy day. Looks like an arm of the Jetstream over us too for parts of the day which will increase the Deep Layer Shear and a fair bit of vorticity with that LP rotating away from us to the South giving decent Low Level Shear as the lower winds become cyclonic . Good Lifted Index. I wonder could we get a couple over night to in the S or SE? Funnels might make an appearance tomorrow also.

Cork city in the afternoon looking good for storms.

Limerick county afternoon looking good for storms

I don’t think this amounted to anything. M.E didn’t issue a warning for here yet the one above mentioned it would be worst further west which is eventually here ha.

Cork get the first score this afternoon😁

I think that thundery rain in the Irish Sea will arrive before the match ends?

The Macho Man

Yeh looks like it. For what it's worth Met Eireann have thunderstorms for Dublin from 2am onwards. Match should be a belter.

A few strikes at Roosky on the Roscommon/Leitrim/Longford border

Ros4Sam24

I was in Roosky for the extremely heavy rain but I didn’t hear any thunder or lightning🤔

some thunder rumbles around Ballaghadereen there a few minutes ago. Nothing major. Heavy shower showing north of Ballagh on radar. Is very mild.

SeaBreezes

Another cell passing south at sea..

Larbre34

The Hurling final will experience some very heavy rain at around half time or into the second half. No lightning in that cell currently, hopefully it stays that way for the sake of the match.

Absolutely serious downpour in Oranmore Village about half an hour ago, heard no rumbles or saw no lightening but probably the most intense rainfall I've seen this year.

anyone know why lightning frequently happens over the sea off the south coast and west coast but never happens over the Irish Sea. The sea temperatures would be similar so that’s not a reason. I can’t ever remember a thunderstorm approaching Dublin from the east in summer - not once (thunder snow is completely different)

PukkaStukka

Siobhan Ryan mentioning possibility of heavy thundery rain tonight for north Leinster and East coast in particular. ME forecasting thunderstorms and high humidity for me in Portrane.

Storm 10

From a friend lots of thunder and lightning in Blacklion in North West looks to be tracking in the direction later

Storm 10

ME have removed the storm warnings while ther is plenty of activity around

Dazler97

Siobhan also mentioned that the yellow rain warning may be upgraded to orange , I swore she said that
